Quantum computers may soon be able to crack encryption methods in use today, so plans are already under way to replace them with new, secure algorithms. Now it seems the US National Security Agency may be undermining that process

    Interesting article and discussion.

    The way Signal is addressing post-quantum encryption is by layering Crystals-KYBER over their current encryption. I initially thought it was overkill, but it’s a great decision.

      There is np such thing as overkill while some governments actively funding quantum computing projects for the sole purpose of code cracking
